Demonstration of Traditional Media Techniques
Event Location
- Saturday May 7, 2011 | Noon 12:00 PM
- Hub Comics, Somerville MA 02143
As part of Free Comic Book Day, I give free demonstrations of professional ink-on-paper techniques for making comic books. Lessons included the use of ruling + dip pens, brushes, Ames lettering guide and more. Practices included perspective, drafting and storytelling. Open to all ages.
The demos are planned as a loop of 30-minute sessions, but tend to run over due to popular demand. Unfortunately, there isn't a budget for art supplies. Proactive artists are encouraged to bring their own supplies or used mine during the Questions and Answers segment.
